I rooted using easy root last Wed. night. I found that is now has software version 1.03.605.10. The phone is rooted and working fine but I wanted to put a different ROM on it and I cannot get this phone to come up in clockwork. From off I press power and volume down and nothing happens until I let go of the buttons and then it just boots normally. I tried going to rom manager and installing from there but it won't do that. I've told rom manager to put me into recovery and it takes me to the stock bootloader instead of clockworkmod. Yes, I have flashed clockworkmod from rom manager.

I have tried installing the mikrom by renaming it and using the stock recovery and it doesn't flash.

I am really frustrated and have no clue what to do next. I have tried putting in adb and installed that and pointed the environmental variables to that directory but when I go to command mode and type adb reboot recovery is says that adb is not known.

Where do I go from here. I sure would appreciate a little help as I am lost at this point. BTW I am running Win 7, 64 bit. I already did go to the androidsamurai site and used his android skd setup and then did the environmental add and no go.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I think it's the same one i started out with:- 1.12.605.6
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
I have the same problem, waiting for the update
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
Are you also unable to bring up clockwork by holding the power and volume down buttons down?

R
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Look as if it didn't work and it's not rooted . when i first open Rom Manager it says : you must root your phone for rom Manager to work. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
Mine is definitely rooted. titanium backup asked for su and got it and works, rom manager asked for su and got it, I downloaded system uninstaller and it deleted vcast, blockbuster, vnav, golf and other crapware. Mine is absolutely rooted but I don't know where this software version came from and now clockwork doesn't work and I can't flash a new rom.

There is something wrong but its not lack of root. I have flashed clockwork from rom manager over and over, I have removed rom recovery and downloaded the latest version.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
I keep getting a message saying "No image or wrong image!" and it is starting to tick me off. I have firmware .06 and get this message using this method as well as the non-easy method. My checksum was correct.

EDIT: Hold on. It is now updating via the manual way. Couldn't get the easyroot to work though. Guess that is what I get for being lazy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Does no one read anymore?! I will be releasing an update shortly stop using the old exe files!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
The only files I used were the ones that I downloaded on Wednesday night. I have not flashed anything since that time. The root that night put 1.03.605.10 on my phone as I had no other way of getting that.

I didn't realize until a couple of posts ago that the update should fix my problem and that the software now installed is the reason that clockwork won't run.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Amen lol :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Testing (could) be release build right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
Lol....well I downloaded all the files a couple of days ago and then tried it without seeing you say you were changing anything.....doesn't matter....getting it done the long way even though the directions are a little wtf.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksizzle9:
let it rip, dbz, this new one should take care of all the problems. Actually i dont know, but i hope it does cuz my boy is dying to root his phone and i cant drive to s carolina from where im at, and i sure as hell cant teach him adb over the phone
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
I don't get what is so difficult about adb?

It's just typing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Finally........Ok guys update being uploaded. ETA about 2 1/2 hours, to get it uploaded. I'm starving, gonna eat some grub.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Because people like options. Options is a good thing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Tlowery88:
Watching the minutes go by haha thanks for all the hard work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bryceb04:
Have you seen how many keys are on keyboards these days? Oof!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
I'm not saying options aren't good. I obviously wouldn't be in the thread if I didn't. I prefer automated processes because I can trust the people who know the ins/outs of the process to get me through it.

However, I was asking why it is difficult to type instructions? Having options, or not trusting you, doesn't answer that question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dkoss:
The best part is you don't have to type:

right click <copy>

right click <paste>

:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
Haha yea. I prefer to type it just so I feel like I'm doing something haha. Plus I actually get half of what's going on that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
ETA: 90 minutes

90-minute nap here I come.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Goofypook:
OK, I think Im well on my way??? I have S-Off, and I think Im ready for Step 3??? My computer currently says:

Mounting /system

Copying su and changing permissions.

Reboot 2 or 3 times then open RomManager and intall the Thunderbolt recovery by clicking "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

Not sure if its doing anything, how long should I wait??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Its simple. What is easy for some, is harder for others. My days in tech support remind of the classic "I can't find the any Key!!"

Its not a question of difficult. Its a question on which way you decide to do something, and what way, in your opinion, you would like to do it. Ergo, the reason for options.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I went through all of that and in the end still wasn't rooted , follow instructions flash ClockWorkMod Recovery . Waiting for update .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Goofypook:
JUst had a Brain Fart, I figured it out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
im getting anxious :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] conazo:
What's the status on the Update?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] j23a45m:
it will be posted soon, the man needed a power nap!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AyoJake:
what is this 1st grade?jkjk

cant wait till it comes out..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:

Trying do wake up DBZ. Man sleeps like a rock.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yamaha83:
haha if its anything like my naps, you wont hear from him till tomorrow!! lol :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jyabor91:
Im freaking out what does this mean??? :(

"ERROR! Contact someone at chat.andirc.net in channel #thunderbolt. DO NOT REBOOT.Choose the bootloader option and press POWER. Allow the firmware to flash by pressing VOLUME UP. When finished please reboot into Android as you will have S-OFF.

Again, after rebooting turn USB Debugging back on and unplug your phone and plug it in again."
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gsxraddict:
It's in the op what to do I think you redo that step
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
OP updated with program update. This one is much more reliable so have at it.

@jyabor if you see a hash PM me,if not download the new program and run it, it won't hurt as long as you don't see a hash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yamaha83:
sweeet!!!! downloading now!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Sweet so this is now just a program that guides you through it.....?

I'm in! Sorry but where would I see a hash?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah hopefully the instructions are a bit more clear and the program should be easier to follow. I'm going back to bed now, but I intend to keep working on this until it's a one-click method so look forward to that. Goodnight.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PorscheGuy:
Ugh I hate MegaUpload!!! :mad: It stopped working in the middle of the download and now it won't let me download again because my limit was exceeded.

On a separate and more important note, thank you SO MUCH dbzfanatic!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I'll have a multi-upload link posted sometime tomorrow so don't worry too much. You can try again once that exceeded limit message goes away or just wait for the mirror. Also you're welcome :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
i might wait a bit still, man is going back to sleep so if there are errors we wont have a way to fix them until he is awake again.. plus il see if anyone has any issues with this update. for a minute there the update was ganna be a one click root (brain fart as well)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Yes thank you so much for this going to try it out now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Just wanted to let everyone know that this version works great! Rooted me right up from stock .6.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
let me know how it goes, i might just go ahead and try it after a hour or so of HAWX 2 :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
I'll be around for a bit, to help.

As far as it being one click, that's going to take longer, and we felt that even tho this version might be three steps.........it works........ and we felt everyone was waiting long enough.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Just start up the rooter.exe and follow directions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
yes, just make sure debug is on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WhotahnHTC:
Great work here! I am having an issue though & am wondering if someone can give me a direction. Wed night I used the program to root. I could not get step 3 to work , but after a few reretrys of step 3 & multiple reboots, I had ROM Manager but no SU. I rebooted multiple times & still no go. I then went to bed giving up for the night. I then went out of town on a fam trip & could not fix it till now. I had only 1x until a few hours ago. I show S-off in hboot but no Su & clockwork states I do not have root as is the case with a few of my other apps that require root. I can't flash the recovery until I fix this.

What is my best route for remedy?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
If you firmware is the .9 or lower, you can give this a shot. Just start from step one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Sorry to bug , but do I need to have anything else downloaded or is everything in that package ready to go?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WhotahnHTC:
Ok so my firmware is 1.12.605.6. So best option is to just start all over at step 1?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
yep

sure is
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Yes start at step 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
yes, couldn't hurt, and might repair somethings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WhotahnHTC:
Alright.....I will.......tears up. Jk. I was just hoping for an easier fix for th superuser not being recognized or found by ROM manager.

Since I have to redo it all my question now is.....I have original version still or would you recommend using the update?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Just waiting for my phone to be fully charged and gonna give this a whirl
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Yes. You should be ok. I have unrooted and rerooted, twice now with this. All good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Do I need to be at a full charge like the other root method?

>Yells at phone to charge quicker<
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WhotahnHTC:
Updated version or original program?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
i hope not cuz im not waiting.. i think thats just a recommendation so you dont lose your battery during the middle of everything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Link removed per request of DEV.

Added link back, misunderstanding.

Please let me know if I need to update the post with additional info.

Speed will pick up once a few seeds come online.

Enjoy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Updated version. If you ran the original and had trouble, it won't be a problem trying to run the updated version over it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
does it matter where we extract the .rar??

i know this is a dumb question but im nervous to root this since i bought it 3rd party with no warranty!! "charge only mode" is powered off or what?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Hey, check your pm's.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
15 minutes and it will be finished uploading to Multi-upload. Lots of mirrors coming online then. Will let you all know asap.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Actually, if you check back earlier in this thread when a torrent link was orig posted he indicated he wanted to hold off on a torrent link until this update came out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
@Cnmsales Thanks

For everyone else here is another mirror, this time multiupload.

I'm going to bed, pm me at if you need something.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddymart:
nothing's happening here, after clicking step1 it says pushing files and nothing. Do i need to install adb.exe, couldn't find instructions but is in the rar. also i have this pop-up window with some "verizon mobile drivers", do i have to run these? and lastly what i do when i see the ERROR message asking me to contact someone cose i see it, should i just run step1 again? And if someone can point me to the instructions would be nice.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
If you are in step 1 and it says pushing files, and then moves on talking about rebooting then run step 1 again. If you have to use task manager to close rooter.exe do so. But if nothing else just running it again should help.

If you get that error in step 2, then just close the program and restart it and step 2 you dont have to start all over.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Ok...I stand corrected. My bad. :cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yourboysplash:
i keep getting no img or wrong img... what am i doing wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Do you have debug mode enabled and the HTC Sense Drivers installed?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Just plugged in phone ask for permission to dl TL-Bootstrap.exe

Allow or Cancel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yourboysplash:
yes i do, it gets to steep 2 then it wont download
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
where can i find the htc sense drivers? i google searched it and i cant find the TB on htc's site...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
I just looked on the site for the htc sense drivers down at the bottom I think. Said they worked for all htc devices
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Search this thread, i think around page 30 i posted a link for a mirror of htc sync software.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Yeah sorry I meant HTC Sync not sense.

I used these

[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Here are some instructions. This is just for the program, not how to get your phone connected.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] killakrishook3r:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Here you go Powell

http://www.htc.com/us/support/thunderbolt-verizon/downloads/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
How to begin this journey!!!

Step 1

Enable USB Debugging On Your Phone

Step A

Launch the Settings app on your phone. This can be found in your App Drawer, or by Pressing the menu button on the outside of your device.

launch settings app or from settings button after you tap your menu button on the bottom of your screen.

Step B

Tap Applications.

Android Applications Settings

Step C

Tap Development.

Android Development Applications Settings

Step D

Check the box for USB debugging.*

Your phone should now be in Debug Mode, if you go into the notification bar you’ll find an Ongoing alert stating USB debugging connected. Remember how to do this, you will have to turn this on multiple times throughout this process.

2. Go to the folder you placed the extracted files to and click on the ' Rooter.exe ' File. Follow the instructions to a T that are posted in the OP.

***If you cant get your phone to be seen by the program. Try downloading the htcsync program and running it to install the drivers. You can find it on HTC's website or at this mirror. http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca4e6e5/n/setup_3.0.5511.exe . Then unplug (if you had it plugged in during installation) and plug back in your phone. It should say something about installing drivers, if that finishes okay then you are one step closer. If it doesn't work after installing sync, you may have to install PDANet but i don't know where you need to get that from or why it would have drivers that HTC's program wouldn't. I would just try restarting the computer after installing the htc sync first before i tried any other programs. You can also try plugging your phone into a different usb port.***
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Their download speeds suck... try my mirror.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca4e6e5/n/setup_3.0.5511.exe

Plug in your phone, place it in charge-only mode and please ensure that wifi is OFF before starting.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Could be a bad download, try downloading morelince's mirror.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
MORLINCE... not morElince :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
so im guessing this update is still a bit buggy?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
ok... i downloaded/install htc sync.. i open the program, plug in my phone and windows isntalls drivers and says its ready to use however the htc sync program just continues to say no device connected... im not getting an option on my phone to put into charge mode either... just usb debug enabled.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
lol, Was typing fast man. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddymart:
This is most helpful, thank you very much
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
No honestly I don't think the program is buggy, its the people using it. ;) Most of the issues are initial connection issues.

/\\/\\orlince
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
The only reason you use HTC sync is to get the phone drivers, you don't need that htc sync program on your computer at all.

Put it in debug, then start rooter.exe step 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
READ THIS TO GET YOUR PHONE SET UP!

/\\/\\orlince
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
When you plug your phone in you should get a pop up asking which option you want to do. If you have disabled this in the drop down bar you should be able to click on "Select to change USB connection type"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
No, sometimes adb doesn't take. Also user setup takes a little know how.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
right but im not sure the drivers are installing correctly.. it is not giving me an option to select how i want my phone connected to the pc. so i cant put it into charge mode which is a requirement for step 1

EDIT: ty for the link to htc sync BTW :)

EDIT2: and i do have *ask on connection* checked
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
So this new one doesn't install Rom manager or SU? And we don't have to use Rom manager after to flash back?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
First of all you are just installing Sync for the drivers close the program out of your system bar at the bottom right in Windows.

Second if a menu doesn't come up asking about a mode pull down your notification bar and it should be there. If its not then you don't have your usb cable connected or its bad.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
HolyGrail, for issues with ADB, while not needed would it be easier if folks were to install ADB via the ADB for Dummies? http://androidsamurai.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4&sid=44c958ae251caea4f06f3287b0fd65ce
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Yes it does. It installs su and rom manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
thats my exact problem.. i get notified that usb debug is enabled.. but no option for a mode... im using the usb cable that came with the phone
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Powel, have you tried restarting your phone and PC?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
Don't them it in the new package though... :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
I don't know then try restarting your computer or trying a different usb port.

/\\/\\orlince
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
was just getting ready to do that actually.. ill report back thank you guys so much for helping me!

I know it doesnt seem like it right now but im not computer illiterate and have rooted my fascinate... just a cant seem to get this one down as of yet :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
I'm going to bed for real now its 3am. I'll be back later.

Powell, like you said it could be your drivers.

Try this walkthrough, scroll down for the usb directions. Its a nice write up.

Step 3 does nothing, clicked several times, no reboot. What should I do?

edit: I see superuser, does it mean I am rooted?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Try closing out the program, unplug and replug, and try again on step 3.

Make sure its showing you in adb devices.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
I'm downloading and checking the package.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
Ok...I'll wait before I copy them over from the old package. It's missing 4 files... RomManager.apk, Superuser.apk, su, and wpthis
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
ok.. my phone is now giving me the options pop up.. trying step 1 for the second time now.. hopefully it works this time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
OK.....Little strange....The files aren't in my original one ether, but I can attest that I have ru, rom manager...etc. So the dev must have added them some way, regardless if we see them or not in the package.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
what did you do reboot phone and PC? i tried installing HTC sync, failed even installing that. its 3am late but if someone roots with the update then im in for an all nighter trying. is there a chat open?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
Ok....on to Step 3 then. thx for checking.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
By the way, just keep canceling out the damn verizon popup, and click no. You don't need it.

Once you have root, you can remove it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Powell730:
yeah i rebooted both and then i was good to go. at first it thought i needed that verizon thing so i downloaded it but i uninstalled it after i realized it had nothing to do with this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Did it finally reboot? If so go into rom manager, and see if you can fix permissions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jr4000watts:
you mean when you connect your phone to pc a pop up window takes you to a verizon website? i get that regardless so i have the drivers? god i feel dumb tonight
